Chapter - 1
"Excuse me! Coming through! Sorry! ", I repeat these words as I rush through the hallways. It's the start of a new year in SN College and I am nervous as heck. Not many people can enter this college in Seoul. I had to work hard and get a scholarship.
"32A ... 32A...Finally!". I didn't want to be late on the first day but things don't go our way do they? I entered the room like a crazy person and froze. All eyes were on me. 'Great. What should I do now?'
"I suppose you're a newbie here?" the lady leaning on the front desk of the classroom who I believe was the teacher asked me. "Yes, I am. My name is Aera Lee." I said in soft voice.
''Well, welcome to my class Ms. Lee. I'm Mrs. Oh , your teacher. You may sit anywhere you like dear." I looked around and saw a boy frantically waving at me like I'm Santa Claus.
I went near him and sat on the seat adjacent to his. " Hi! My name is Tony and let's be friends!", he said very excitedly. He looked adorable smiling like a little kid so I accepted to be his friend.
''So, do you want a tour around the campus?'', Tony said. ''Sure-..'', I stopped halfway sensing a presence. I looked around the room and saw a boy, scratch that, the gorgeous man I've ever standing in front of the class dressed in all black. His ink black wavy hair falls on his chocolate brown eyes, pink full lips, a cute button nose and a sharp jawline that could cut anything that comes his way.
His dark aura is very intimidating and terrifying that people stopped chattering and looked down, minding their own business. He gives a vibe that felt like 'don't even look me in the eyes or come near me'.
I realized that I was the only one looking up at him. He stared into my eyes very intensely like he was trying to suck my soul out. I looked away from him feeling a little scared and nervous.
After a second or so, I heard a loud growl to my right. My breath hitched. A sweat was making its way on the side of my forehead. My hands started shaking. My heart was beating so fast. My head becomes a little dizzy.
I peeked down to my right side and saw black combat boots facing my direction. '' Don't look. Don't look. Don't look...'', Tony kept whispering next to me. I was so confused on who this man was and why everyone was scared of him.
I couldn't help but slowly look up. As I looked up, I heard loud gasps and ' Oh no' whispering around the room.
He stood next to me staring the same way he did before. I quickly looked down again. He tapped twice on my desk. I was confused on what he wants. I didn't react cause what am I supposed to in such a situation? Run like an ostrich?
Suddenly he slammed his hand on my desk. I flinched so badly that it was impossible to go unnoticed.
I slowly stood up from my seat. My breathing got very ragged. He pulled arm towards him and lifted me. I wrapped my legs around his waist automatically.
I felt like I ran a marathon. I looked at him wide eyed. I kept blinking nervously.
I heard so many whispers around the room. I observed that people were looking at us in horror. I thought I was going to die. Is it normal for my heart to beat this fast?
He held me by placing his hands under my thighs and walked towards the teacher's desk. I looked at Mrs. Oh and saw that even she was scared enough to look at him. He placed me on the desk with me facing him and the class and his back facing the class. He stood between my legs and pulled me closer.
He looked closely at my face. He started from forehead, my eyes, my nose, my cheeks, and my chin but didn't look at my lips.
''If I look at your lips, then you don't want to see a side of me that no one has seen.'', he said. His voice was so deep and smooth like velvet.
He looked into my eyes one more time and left the room with his gang leaving me flustered on the teacher's desk.
What was that? Who was that? Why did he do that? Seeing my shocked state, Tony looked at me and answered, "That is Jeon Jungkook. He is a senior here. That's all I know but... Just keep your distance from. He's not a good person to socialize with. He doesn't talk much to people except his gang. He'd rather punch than talk and converse."
"What's his gang's name?" I asked. He looked at me and smirked a little. "BTS". I kind of felt that smirk has some meaning in it.
"Which stands for Bangtan Boys. We see them all the time but no one dares to talk to them. They study in separate class and eat in a separate room which no one has seen. Teachers can't complain to authorities about their actions cause Bangtan is too powerful.
They get what they want in just a click. No one knows what they do, who they work for, where they go after school. Yes, people gossip and fangirl over them but in a distance cause we don't wanna die at a young age." he said laughing nervously.
"Why did he do that me? Is it because I'm new here?" I asked. "I don't think it's about you being new here. I am just as confused as you are. Jungkook hasn't gotten close to any girls to the point where people thought he was gay. But after what happened, people just confirmed that rumor is false. Let's see what happens." he replied.
I was quiet for awhile, overthinking about what happened. Tony nudged my shoulder slightly snapping me out. " Don't be too worried. Nothing's gonna happen to you as long you just don't go near them or talk to them. Breathe girl", he said chuckling.
I smiled at him slightly.
I took a deep breathe and tried to loosen up the nerves.
As long as I ignore them , I won't be in trouble.
Is that a good decision Aera?
